Yes. Not yet. Something better.

Overheard this on the interwebs the other day:

“The universe has three answers to everything you want: yes, not yet, or I have something better.”

The holy trinity. Good things comes in threes.

☑ Yes
☑ Not yet
☑ Something better

At any one time, to anything and everything that you desire, aim for, have a goal towards.

If it’s yes, you get it now, or very soon. All the signs are obvious.

If it’s not yet, keep going. You’re almost there. Don’t drop off now.

If there’s something better, you will face what is on the surface a “No”, a rejection, a failure. A seeming defeat. But it’s not lost. Keep grinding, or keep throwing shots.

Most of the time, you’ll experience this, in chronological order:

Something better.
Something better.
Something better.
Not yet.
Something better.
Something better.
Not yet.
Not yet.
Something better.
Not yet.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

You can’t ever lose, when you have such an abundant perspective on life like this.

So, repeat after me:

Yes. Not yet. Something better.
Yes. Not yet. Something better.
Yes. Not yet. Something better.
